Pretty good

Buyer Beware - Power Supply Issues
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for the price when it worked but constant auto-detect issues with my TCL TV... then, power supply issues resulted in the soundbar turning off and not turning back on multiple times. At first, it would power up again after a hard reset... however, within a week, it wouldn’t power up at all. Had to return. Perhaps mine was just a lemon but after reading over reviews with similar issues, I decided to switch brands. Buyer beware - I wish you better luck than I had.

We Love it, & it’s so loud!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s so loud without even being on max volume, and has great bass. Can feel the rumble of action movies and hear bass from downstairs. Sounds amazing with Games as well.

Worth the $$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome setup! Speakers and sub sound way better than the setup I previous had. Plus you can manage it with the app. Adjust your sound levels to your liking.

Excellent sound-bar value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this VIZIO surround system to replace an older VIZIO surround system that did not have enough volume controls, it was either too low or then too high if you moved the volume up a notch plus the dialogue always seemed muffled. I bought this one because of the great review from CNET and Best Buy had a great Black Friday sale . I am totally satisfied with the improvements this one has , excellent volume controls , dialogue is crisp and a rich base , fills the room with deep surround sounds. CNET gave it the editors choice award, I'm glad I followed their recommendation.

Good Sound Bad Connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounded great when it worked. Too bad it was only about 1/10 of the time. Thought it might have been my TV. Then I saw connectivity issues was a common problem.

Nice 5.1.2 Soundbar System
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar system it self works pretty well. The VIZIO SmartCast app however, can be hard to use sometimes. Overall it's a nice product that delivers the expected performance.

Decent buy/bad tv communication
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to buy this version based off of the rtings website and this being very high ranked in their reviews. I'm not sure I'd agree with their reviews after a couple of weeks. I have a Vizio tv and everything is plugged in correctly but the sound only comes on half the time. I have to turn the tv off then back on multiple times to get the soundbar to work. Also, any time I use my PS5 and go back to television I get no sound. I have to turn everything off and try multiple times. For having both an LG tv and sound bar system you'd think they'd work better with each other. I'm an avid TV cord person/PS5 player and I know everything is hooked up absolutely correct....just no idea why it doesn't work well together.

Loved it.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good atmos surround system. Although the top firing height speakers were not so effective in my room but provides a great atmos experience for the price.

Great sound

Great sound!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I give this 5 stars but ONLY when the content provider is Dolby Atmos (third party services; netflix, amazon, disney....) as otherwise you don't get the bang for the buck.

Truly Great Sound To Meet My Needs
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read many reviews for many different systems, but once in the store I was able to hear the difference. My BIGGEST selling point was that it was compatible with my Vizio TV. That was a feature I did not think about. It's seamless integration with the TV and single remote/app made a big difference overall. Pros - good app - connects with Vizio devices directly and through the app - clear sound once it is set up - plug and play easy Cons - setting up the sound via the app can be a challenge with all the features (once set you are good) - understanding the lights on the unit w/o the app visibility (you eventually just disregard them

Good sound but...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, but has constant connectivity issues. I have to restart the sound bar at least once every couple of days if not more. And the Vizio app has not worked one single time since I’ve had it.
